1 00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:00,57 The 2 00:00:35,36 --> 00:00:39,79 lights are dimmed the projector is running the classroom has become a setting for 3 00:00:39,79 --> 00:00:43,75 use of a very effective teaching tool but classroom film. 4 00:00:45,78 --> 00:00:47,25 Yet but these young people learn 5 00:00:47,25 --> 00:00:53,42 and how well they learn it rests largely with how the film is you just it doesn't 6 00:00:53,42 --> 00:00:58,02 work. We've constructed any electric motor from a few simple materials. 7 00:00:59,30 --> 00:01:01,50 Let's review what happens by looking at a diagram. 8 00:01:02,03 --> 00:01:05,57 Here is the permanent magnet like all magnets it has a north pole 9 00:01:05,57 --> 00:01:08,64 and the South Pole. 10 00:01:08,65 --> 00:01:10,07 Here's the block of iron 11 00:01:10,07 --> 00:01:17,00 and with the coil of wire around an electromagnet the coil of wire is attached to 12 00:01:17,00 --> 00:01:20,25 wires leading to a dry cell. 13 00:01:20,27 --> 00:01:24,31 When current starts to flow the coil becomes an electromagnet with North 14 00:01:24,31 --> 00:01:25,87 and South poles. 15 00:01:27,89 --> 00:01:31,85 These poles of the electromagnet are attracted by the poles of the permanent magnet 16 00:01:31,85 --> 00:01:33,87 and the block of iron turns. 17 00:01:36,54 --> 00:01:40,68 If we reverse the direction of the current in the coil by changing the dry cell 18 00:01:40,68 --> 00:01:44,35 connections the north and south poles in our electromagnet reverse. 19 00:01:44,83 --> 00:01:48,40 This puts two North post together and two south poles together. 20 00:01:48,81 --> 00:01:53,82 Since like poles repel each other the electromagnet rotates until opposite poles 21 00:01:53,82 --> 00:01:59,35 are attracted to one another if we add the automatic switch to our diagram. 22 00:01:59,52 --> 00:02:00,26 It looks. Like this. 23 00:02:01,70 --> 00:02:06,19 Now if the wires are connected to the Drysdale the motor will continue to rotate in 24 00:02:06,19 --> 00:02:06,89 one direction 25 00:02:13,89 --> 00:02:16,90 for a science class concerned with how an electric motor works. 26 00:02:17,49 --> 00:02:23,51 Classroom film has illustrated a complex process in simple understandable terms the 27 00:02:23,52 --> 00:02:28,87 film as is often true has proved itself an effective and valuable teaching aid. 28 00:02:28,89 --> 00:02:33,33 This is particularly true when the film has been carefully selected for content 29 00:02:33,33 --> 00:02:34,08 and 30 00:02:34,08 --> 00:02:38,35 when the students have been correctly prepared for viewing both ilm activities which 31 00:02:38,35 --> 00:02:43,82 follow the film are also important activities such as a post film discussion now. 32 00:02:44,78 --> 00:02:48,72 Can someone explain to me the function of one of the basic parts of the electric 33 00:02:48,72 --> 00:02:51,67 motor Denny. 34 00:02:51,68 --> 00:02:57,11 Where without to make switched back on the economy data in order would make a 35 00:02:57,11 --> 00:03:00,41 complete revelation. Do you all agree with Danny's statement 36 00:03:01,23 --> 00:03:04,70 that George is the idea because on the diagram you can see 37 00:03:04,70 --> 00:03:06,28 that kindly to reverse is occurring. 38 00:03:06,52 --> 00:03:11,84 If it didn't in moderation stop right now from what we've seen in the film 39 00:03:11,84 --> 00:03:16,22 and talked about. Can someone give me the definition of a commutator sure 40 00:03:16,23 --> 00:03:18,44 and give me your definition. 41 00:03:18,46 --> 00:03:23,49 Commutator is a device very very seen the direction of the car. 42 00:03:23,51 --> 00:03:26,39 The film has been used to convey information and 43 00:03:26,39 --> 00:03:30,85 or stimulate deductive thinking this kind of discussion of content is as much a 44 00:03:30,85 --> 00:03:36,01 part of using a film as the actual showing up it for a film however good it may be 45 00:03:36,01 --> 00:03:38,16 is still only a teaching tool 46 00:03:38,16 --> 00:03:42,50 and depends for its greatest effectiveness on how it is used by the teacher 47 00:03:44,76 --> 00:03:48,96 effectiveness of a film begins days perhaps even weeks prior to the showing 48 00:03:48,96 --> 00:03:53,82 when the teacher selects the film the director of her local instructional materials 49 00:03:53,82 --> 00:03:58,41 center can often provide helpful advice about which of several films in the same 50 00:03:58,41 --> 00:03:59,68 subject area will best. 51 00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:06,84 The teacher's purpose of course one may have to rely 52 00:04:06,84 --> 00:04:07,48 on the resume 53 00:04:07,48 --> 00:04:11,26 and a catalogue to determine a film's content as well as its running time 54 00:04:11,26 --> 00:04:13,69 and the grade level for which it was intended. 55 00:04:16,64 --> 00:04:20,79 The important thing at this point is that selection is not a hit or miss affair 56 00:04:20,79 --> 00:04:22,84 but key to a lesson plan 57 00:04:22,84 --> 00:04:28,09 and made on the basis of the best information available about a film the next step. 58 00:04:28,24 --> 00:04:33,39 You as the teacher take in using a film is to become familiar with it yourself if 59 00:04:33,39 --> 00:04:37,86 the film is available to you for only a short time you may have to limit your own 60 00:04:37,86 --> 00:04:40,77 preparation to studying the teacher guide for the film. 61 00:04:40,88 --> 00:04:47,70 If it is available here you will find usually a more complete description 62 00:04:47,70 --> 00:04:52,97 of the film's content than is possible in a catalog file along with the questions 63 00:04:52,97 --> 00:04:59,80 you may want to ask following the showing of the film comments from previous years 64 00:04:59,80 --> 00:05:03,16 of a particular film if they are available are also helpful 65 00:05:07,43 --> 00:05:09,26 and ideal way to study a film 66 00:05:09,26 --> 00:05:13,91 and prepare to use it with your classes to preview it with pencil in hand taking 67 00:05:13,91 --> 00:05:15,25 notes as the film progresses. 68 00:05:15,60 --> 00:05:17,68 It can be a real help to have one 69 00:05:17,68 --> 00:05:21,51 or more of your students in the preview room with you as they watch from a 70 00:05:21,51 --> 00:05:22,99 viewpoint which is different from yours. 71 00:05:23,14 --> 00:05:25,69 They will detect new or unusual words 72 00:05:25,69 --> 00:05:29,46 or situations which may require explanation before the film is shown to the group 73 00:05:30,16 --> 00:05:34,21 they may also reveal interests the teacher may use to motivate the entire class. 74 00:05:36,95 --> 00:05:38,46 Well they were there anything you didn't understand. 75 00:05:39,96 --> 00:05:43,72 Well I don't understand why the farmer's uncannily said to fight so much. 76 00:05:44,48 --> 00:05:45,83 Thank goodness for his channel 77 00:05:45,83 --> 00:05:50,33 and plant their crops in the areas where the cattle were located about you. 78 00:05:50,33 --> 00:05:57,12 Mary any words you didn't understand where you added them think a lot of 79 00:05:57,12 --> 00:05:58,18 dark I think. 80 00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:04,11 Creative teachers have many ways of developing class readiness for seeing a film 81 00:06:04,84 --> 00:06:09,06 preparation often starts the day before on your show a word may be defined 82 00:06:09,06 --> 00:06:11,70 beforehand. 83 00:06:11,72 --> 00:06:12,26 You'll recall 84 00:06:12,26 --> 00:06:16,84 that yesterday we talked about the problems of settling this large area of our 85 00:06:16,84 --> 00:06:20,60 country known as the Great Plains today we're going to see a film 86 00:06:20,60 --> 00:06:23,29 that shows us those problems very clearly. 87 00:06:24,18 --> 00:06:24,50 Of course 88 00:06:24,50 --> 00:06:27,62 when the great pains were being settled in the eight hundred fifty thousand eight 89 00:06:27,62 --> 00:06:30,31 hundred sixty eight the movie camera had not yet been invented. 90 00:06:31,75 --> 00:06:35,53 So in this film we get this story as we look at famous paintings 91 00:06:35,53 --> 00:06:40,01 and drawings made by artists who were there at the time. Now Candy. 92 00:06:40,08 --> 00:06:44,87 Do you recall the problem about the planes area that we discussed yesterday. 93 00:06:45,67 --> 00:06:50,31 Well there was constant fighting between ranchers and farmers over these of land. 94 00:06:50,34 --> 00:06:54,36 So neither then could become really prosperous and we decided 95 00:06:54,36 --> 00:06:58,46 that this situation kept many people away who might otherwise have come 96 00:06:58,46 --> 00:07:03,57 and help to settle the great plains be a very good summary Cathy now in this film. 97 00:07:03,82 --> 00:07:06,64 We're going to learn about some other problems that face these people 98 00:07:06,64 --> 00:07:08,62 and what they finally did about them. 99 00:07:09,53 --> 00:07:13,44 Afterwards I want you to be able to identify and discuss the problem 100 00:07:13,44 --> 00:07:17,99 and to describe how the eventual solution of these problems affected our country's 101 00:07:17,99 --> 00:07:22,83 history. All right let's have the sound. 102 00:07:23,81 --> 00:07:27,93 Is one like the days when Cowboys forty times between cattlemen 103 00:07:27,93 --> 00:07:32,71 and farmers nobody had the word for to make the difference both said six shooters 104 00:07:32,71 --> 00:07:37,58 and both could use the piece to play and it seemed on finding a cheap 105 00:07:37,58 --> 00:07:43,76 and practical friends some dried a thorny hedge to use yarn for fencing 106 00:07:44,48 --> 00:07:49,61 and it was big and bold strong but it took four years 107 00:07:49,61 --> 00:07:53,81 or more to groove others try just plain ole wire 108 00:07:54,61 --> 00:07:58,52 but cattle shoved right through it and the search continued. 109 00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:02,73 Since the mine the low cost of wire 110 00:08:25,47 --> 00:08:32,08 in eighteen seventy four used to be far away sixty year old was granted the 111 00:08:35,82 --> 00:08:37,91 following year. Jagan aging the scene of 112 00:08:37,91 --> 00:08:43,22 that bridge improved as barmy practical 113 00:08:43,23 --> 00:08:47,02 and inexpensive the West got its fencing. 114 00:08:47,15 --> 00:08:51,03 But the new fences blocked off the cattle trails to the roots 115 00:08:51,03 --> 00:08:56,52 and there were some resisted the changes on the plains brought about by barbed wire 116 00:08:57,75 --> 00:09:01,48 fence the border of forcing others some fence cutters. 117 00:09:02,91 --> 00:09:07,81 But the bark of six shooters diminished laws were passed to protect both sides 118 00:09:07,81 --> 00:09:13,72 and in time barbwire turned out to be a blessing to the cattlemen to build their 119 00:09:13,72 --> 00:09:19,82 industry on the native Texas Longhorns mean ornery critter as tough on the table as 120 00:09:19,82 --> 00:09:25,81 he was on the range with barbed wire fencing the cattlemen could separate their 121 00:09:25,81 --> 00:09:27,87 herd introduced blooded stock 122 00:09:27,87 --> 00:09:34,78 and supply the demand for better be soon the Great Plains became a new land a real 123 00:09:34,78 --> 00:09:36,47 road the coal revolver. 124 00:09:37,03 --> 00:09:41,66 The artesian well the windmill new ways of farming dry land 125 00:09:41,66 --> 00:09:47,32 and of course barbed wire and enabled our country to settle a vast interior. 126 00:09:47,56 --> 00:09:52,78 To turn what was once the Great American Desert in the rich fertile farmland 127 00:09:56,65 --> 00:09:59,79 thinking to make a great aside the invention of barbed wire with sewing. 128 00:10:00,00 --> 00:10:06,26 Porting to the development of the Great Plains. To me. Well. 129 00:10:06,67 --> 00:10:10,23 The blog will help those farmers in Canada because they could keep the care of 130 00:10:10,23 --> 00:10:13,39 where they are supposed to be in the farmers could do more farming 131 00:10:13,39 --> 00:10:17,58 and their society here and this is the only kind of wire fencing ever invented 132 00:10:17,58 --> 00:10:22,72 that could do the job right and it. Why didn't they build a wooden fence is Karen. 133 00:10:22,86 --> 00:10:24,93 There wasn't anyone here. 134 00:10:25,07 --> 00:10:25,86 That's right Karen 135 00:10:25,86 --> 00:10:29,57 and now I think it might be interesting to find out why there was no way to 136 00:10:29,57 --> 00:10:32,95 vailable in the Great Plains area. This would take some research. 137 00:10:33,51 --> 00:10:37,92 So Karen you Betty. Carmen Allen prepare a report on it. 138 00:10:38,74 --> 00:10:42,08 We are going to spend some time reporting on another aspect of this subject to 139 00:10:43,28 --> 00:10:46,39 who'd like to find out more about the benefits the barbed wire fencing made 140 00:10:46,39 --> 00:10:49,69 possible for the cattleman but. 141 00:10:49,71 --> 00:10:54,26 Well I recalled Filmation something about separating the her generic vision gloated 142 00:10:54,26 --> 00:11:00,22 start and likely. That is OK. Barb you team up with George S.C. 143 00:11:00,22 --> 00:11:02,01 Elaine and Frank on that question. 144 00:11:03,28 --> 00:11:07,64 There are many ways to conduct post film activities profitably the objective should 145 00:11:07,64 --> 00:11:14,53 always be to use the film as a springboard to learning understanding and creating. 146 00:11:14,54 --> 00:11:18,98 Assigning a research project on a topic related to the film will help the student 147 00:11:18,98 --> 00:11:22,29 to form relations of ideas concepts and facts 148 00:11:22,29 --> 00:11:28,05 and thereby provide creative learning experiences. 149 00:11:28,07 --> 00:11:31,38 And a review of effective use of classroom films. 150 00:11:31,72 --> 00:11:34,16 We should not overlook the importance of physical details. 151 00:11:34,54 --> 00:11:38,93 For example proper arrangements for seating lighting ventilation 152 00:11:38,93 --> 00:11:47,14 and placement of the equipment. 153 00:11:48,01 --> 00:11:52,36 Also if you plan to run the film yourself check ahead of time to make sure you are 154 00:11:52,36 --> 00:11:55,59 familiar with the projector and its operation how to thread it 155 00:11:55,59 --> 00:11:57,20 and how to operate the controls. 156 00:12:00,82 --> 00:12:04,31 Where these details are handled by a student projectionist it is still important 157 00:12:04,31 --> 00:12:07,50 for you to make sure that these arrangements are made beforehand. 158 00:12:08,12 --> 00:12:11,88 All these physical details may contribute or detract from the showing 159 00:12:11,88 --> 00:12:16,98 and hence they are relevant to the creative use you make of a film as a teaching 160 00:12:16,98 --> 00:12:20,48 tool. Remember also 161 00:12:20,48 --> 00:12:25,62 that since using a film is part of a creative process the steps you take reflect 162 00:12:25,62 --> 00:12:26,93 your own creative ability. 163 00:12:30,29 --> 00:12:34,06 The first point at which you put your creativity to work is in the selection of the 164 00:12:34,06 --> 00:12:39,10 film choosing it for your purposes on the basis of your evaluation of it for the 165 00:12:39,10 --> 00:12:40,94 effectiveness with your students. 166 00:12:44,09 --> 00:12:48,70 The second point is the key to all the steps following it your own preparation for 167 00:12:48,70 --> 00:12:49,53 showing the film. 168 00:12:49,63 --> 00:12:53,59 This is the point where you decide whether you will show the film all at one 169 00:12:53,59 --> 00:12:53,72 sitting 170 00:12:54,50 --> 00:13:00,49 or use only an excerpt which applies to the particular topic being studied it is 171 00:13:00,49 --> 00:13:07,32 the point at which you make final plans for how to use this teaching tool at the 172 00:13:07,32 --> 00:13:11,51 Third Point class motivation you develop a readiness for viewing the film. 173 00:13:11,65 --> 00:13:15,62 This may be a simple procedure of telling your students the title of the film. 174 00:13:15,98 --> 00:13:19,89 Why they are seeing it and some idea of what they are expected to learn from it 175 00:13:19,89 --> 00:13:24,58 or it may be as elaborate as using other teaching techniques over several periods 176 00:13:24,58 --> 00:13:31,27 leading up to the showing point for the showing of the 177 00:13:31,27 --> 00:13:31,66 film 178 00:13:31,66 --> 00:13:36,63 when the creative process is seemingly out of your hands still reflects your guiding 179 00:13:36,63 --> 00:13:40,26 role particularly if you decide to repeat the showing of the film 180 00:13:40,26 --> 00:13:46,01 or a shot of the projector at a certain spot for a pre-determined reason. 181 00:13:46,03 --> 00:13:51,22 At point five The creative teaching aspect comes into foreplay for student 182 00:13:51,22 --> 00:13:55,79 participation includes all the follow up activities which round out your purpose in 183 00:13:55,79 --> 00:14:02,33 using the film discussion testing for content research work report writing problem 184 00:14:02,33 --> 00:14:06,78 solving and they are all of these post film activities plus many many more 185 00:14:06,78 --> 00:14:09,47 that you will think of are your contribution 186 00:14:11,55 --> 00:14:15,88 and it is your contribution which is the single most important factor in using a 187 00:14:15,88 --> 00:14:16,97 classroom filled.
